    Seriously though, it will be interesting to see where this one ends up.

    That case has taken a beating! I think Ace Ventura and HDS have gotten their hands on it

    How does this compare to individual boxes on e-bay?

    I would expect a premium for a sealed case. I'm guessing final price with BP would be around 19-20K.

    Yeah, but that one doesn't have the outer shipping box, so take 5K off right there.. image

    Double boxed would have kept the outer box nicer...

    $20000 is a bargain for a case like this if it is legitimate. So much more valuable than those opened and possibly searched boxes that I have seen sold everywhere for very high prices these days.

    I would not be surprised to see Brady Hill start gobbling this and any other cases up in his quest for 1970s dominance.

    I have not gone through cello packs for a long time now. Has anyone had success pulling high grade cards from them?

    CPAMike, how are you? Will you be bidding on this case?

    I'm good, thanks for asking. Unfortunately, I don't think that case will remain in my price range and plus I'm running out of room to store all this unopened. And no Eric, I don't want you to come over to help rectify that situation. image

    CrissCriss-Can you furthur explain what you mean about your statement? Sure does not sound like you either like the product that is being sold or you don't like an innocent employee of Mile High.

    If you see a group of wrappers, and gum on ebay in the next few weeks......we could probably narrow it down.

    Narrow it down, if anyone can't figure that one out they need to be voted off CU island. image
